Li Chonglou sat in the back seat, wanting to ask the driver if he had misunderstood something, but he suddenly felt that saying it would only lead to more misunderstandings, so he chose to remain silent.
The driver dared not speak, regretting deeply why he had to take on another fare…
And so, the two remained silent until they arrived at Yali Li’s company.
Looking at the tall buildings, Gao Baisong’s face showed surprise. He hadn’t expected someone with mental issues to come to such a place.
When Yali Li walked out to greet him, Gao Baisong froze completely.
The evening breeze gently brushed past, and Gao Baisong stood with his mouth agape, as if petrified, unable to close it for a long time.
“He actually knows such a beauty?”
“Wait, could she be a scammer?”
Gao Baisong, who was nearing fifty, also had a daughter in college. Seeing Yali Li’s respectful demeanor towards Li Chonglou at that moment, he instantly thought of his own daughter.
The main point was that Li Chonglou was still playing the role of a bodyguard that night, so his attire and appearance did not match Yali Li’s at all. Anyone with discerning eyes could tell the difference in their status.
And despite this disparity, the woman actually showed respect towards the man, which could only mean one thing: a naive girl had been deceived!
Especially after Gao Baisong had overheard Li Chonglou’s ‘muttering,’ he could no longer hold back!
“Alright, you wait for me here. I’ll go to the garage to get your car out.”
Li Chonglou took Yali Li’s keys and then walked towards her company’s garage. The moment he left, Gao Baisong immediately opened the car door, got out, and quickly walked towards Yali Li.
“Child, don’t believe what he says! This person is not normal!”
Gao Baisong’s face was filled with anxiety and worry, and Yali Li was startled by his reaction.
“Who are you?”
Gao Baisong quickly took out his identification from his pocket: “Hello young lady, I am a team leader from Kuaipai Company. This can prove my identity.”
Yali Li looked at the ID he forcefully shoved at her and could only take it to glance at it. It read ‘Kuaipai Taxi Company,’ with a headshot and a name.
“Miss, I am not lying to you! That person is indeed abnormal! I just drove him twice, and he was talking to himself in the car while holding a pet, as if he was talking to someone. Would a normal person do such a thing?”
Gao Baisong spoke earnestly, but what he didn’t expect was that after he finished speaking, Yali Li suddenly burst into laughter.
“Alright, driver, thank you for your kindness.”
Yali Li suppressed her laughter and handed the ID back to Gao Baisong. He looked at her with confusion and confirmed.
“Did you hear everything I just said?”
“Yes, yes, don’t worry, I will handle it.”
Yali Li smiled sweetly, and Gao Baisong then put his ID back into his pocket and walked back to his car, but he didn’t leave yet.
A few minutes later, a luxury car drove from a distance and stopped beside Yali Li. As she opened the car door and got in, Gao Baisong clearly saw that the person in the driver’s seat was Li Chonglou!
“So he’s a rich second generation. No wonder the girl was deceived!”
Thinking of Yali Li’s gentleness and politeness just now, Gao Baisong, as if guided by an unseen force, followed the car Li Chonglou was driving.
At this moment, in the car, Yali Li had repeated what Gao Baisong had told her. Before she could even finish, she couldn’t help but laugh, burying her face in the passenger seat and laughing uncontrollably.
Li Chonglou’s face darkened. He never expected that the strange look was because of this!
Listening to the bell-like laughter beside him, Li Chonglou couldn’t help but explain.
“Xiaobai is a pet I brought back from my trip abroad. It can understand human speech.”
Yali Li then restrained herself a little.
“What kind of pet is it? I’ve never seen one before.”
“This, I’ll bring you to see it when there’s a chance.”
“Okay, I’d like to talk to it too.”
Li Chonglou’s face immediately darkened again. He understood what Yali Li meant. In their impression, he had always been a steady and aloof person, but now he was talking to a pet in the car. Just the thought of this contrast made Li Chonglou feel a bit embarrassed…
With that thought, Li Chonglou could only press harder on the accelerator, quickly heading towards the destination indicated by his phone’s navigation.
Gao Baisong, who had been silently following behind them, his expression changed drastically. Seeing the car suddenly accelerate, he couldn’t help but mutter to himself.
“Could he have discovered me?”
“Hmph, so what if he discovered me? You think you can shake off the Eastern District’s King of the Road? Dream on!”
Gao Baisong also stomped on the accelerator. His taxi roared to life, like an enraged dragon, chasing after the two. Many cars cut into their path, but he skillfully avoided them one by one with his superb driving skills.
On this busy national highway, Gao Baisong’s taxi weaved through the traffic like a nimble dragon, tightly trailing Li Chonglou’s car!
He was forced to stop only when they reached the outskirts of a wealthy mountain community.
Although the road ahead was wide, a security booth was built, and every vehicle entering had to have its identity verified. Inside was a beautiful mountainous area.
It was clearly a resort for the wealthy. Gao Baisong knew very well that with his status, he would never be able to enter unless there was a special circumstance.
So, he could only stop at a distance.
“No, am I just going to stand by and watch such a good girl be ruined?”
Gao Baisong’s face was full of unwillingness. While others might see his actions as meddling, he knew in his heart that it wasn’t just because of Yali Li’s gentleness and politeness, but also because she bore some resemblance to his own daughter!
Gao Baisong thought of his daughter the moment he saw Yali Li. If it weren’t for her temperament being far beyond what his daughter could match, he might have mistaken them for each other.
After thinking for a while, he finally made a decision.
Wait!
He would wait here! If they didn’t come out before midnight, he would call the police. He was determined to expose Li Chonglou’s true nature!
When the car arrived outside a magnificent three-story building, Li Chonglou found that it was already filled with various luxury cars, most of which were the models favored by young people.
The moment they got out of the car, a familiar voice came from behind them.
“I thought you wouldn’t dare to come. Not bad, at least you have some courage.”
The two turned around, and the speaker was Liu Qiang, who had unilaterally invited him before.
The two men in black were still standing beside him, the one on the left being the one he had sparred with earlier.
